[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 841462, member: 2458"] Spot on! It's a lot easier for those of us who have been at the games and seen it first hand vs just looking at stats/highlights (they don't show highlights of player getting beat defensively often). As others get to see the games once more widely televised ... and if Kelly gets significant minutes ... I think you will come to conclusion that Kelly is good offenesively. The closest GT comparison I come up with is Anthony Morrow, but Kelly does more off dribble than Morrow did especially early in his career here. Is he as good offensively as Devoe or Coleman - No. Is he better offensively than Khalid - Yes (not close to Khalid defensively). I agree with others here that it looks like CJP is trying to give Smith a chance at point early on .... his upside looks higher than Sturdivant, but right now both do good and not so good at times. I think for foreseeable future - both play 15 plus minutes - and whoever is playing better or has better matchup plays more that night. What I see is Kelly struggles on defense right now - not unusual for freshman. He is quick (quicker than Coleman/Devoe), but has had trouble keeping his player from getting by him and CJP has gotten after him a few times for missing rotation/etc. Given how Tech has developed players in past, he should become a good defensive player over time. Once Parham is back - I expect he will take most of the minutes Kelly is getting right now - and Kelly becomes more situational player this season (or plays more in case someone gets injured or we're in foul trouble). I can see a line up with Devoe at point, but I think that will be more situational than the norm. [/QUOTE]
